The document contains multiple choice questions about concrete admixtures. It asks about how pozzolana affects concrete properties, commonly used retarding admixtures, incorrect statements about admixtures, types of admixtures that cause early setting, and ways admixtures can be used such as to retard initial setting or improve pumpability. The correct answers provided indicate that pozzolana causes a decrease in early strength, reduction in chemical action with sulphates, and increase in shrinkage. Gypsum is the most commonly used retarding admixture. Accelerators cause early setting and hardening. Admixtures can be used to retard initial set.
